Crowd: ONE FALL!!

Isabella Salvatore: And it is a Hardcore Rules match!

Lucas Knox: Here we go!

Olivia Mayfaire: What’s Halloween without a little blood?

Lucas Knox: Or a lot of it.


The arena lights go out and a dark red spotlight illuminates the entrance way.


Charlie Grace comes out from the back and stands just right of center of the red spotlight. Following behind Charlie, walking hunched over, almost on all fours, comes Rowena Byrne. She moves to Charlie’s left and drops down onto her knees.

Isabella Salvatore: Coming to the ring, hailing from Halloween Town, and weighing it at one hundred and nineteen pounds. ROWENA BYYYYYYYRNNNNNNNEEEEE!!!!


Charlie starts to walk towards the ring followed by Rowena. Charlie ignores the jeering and booing fans in her walk to the ring. Rowena just meanders behind Charlie smiling and laughing at the crowd. As they get to the ring Charlie heads up the steps. She steps between the ropes and into the ring. Rowena climbs onto the apron and crawls under the bottom rope into the ring.


Rowena drops to her knees and leans back against the closest turnbuckles. Charlie Grace simply stands in the middle of the ring smiling. Charlie joins Rowena in her corner. Charlie gives her a few last-minute notes and instructions before exiting the ring. Rowena takes off her entrance coat and waits for the match to start.



Pyros hit as Videos of bustling crowds in various locations of New Orleans appear on the tron as the dark and melodic tones of the intro "Voodoo" by Godsmack blasts on the P.A. system. Tanja comes out onto the top of the ramp in a style compared to Gail Kim during her early time in TNA before heading down the ramp with some of her black leather coat flows at her feet while the mix of boos and jeers and cheers from the crowd fills the arena. She slaps hands with a few fans at ringside before she reaches the bottom of the ramp.


Isabella Salvatore: Coming to the ring hailing from New Orleans, Louisina; she is the Bayou Witch, Tanja Devereaux!


Tanja walk up towards the ring and enters via under the bottom rope and jumps onto the middle turnbuckle. She poses as she does her usual taunt with a hand and arm in the air as "Daughters of Darkness" continues to play. Tanja steps off the turnbuckle as she removes the leather coat and throws it into a random corner as "Voodoo" fades.


Tanja and Rowena meet in the middle of the ring. Each woman carried a weapon. In Tanja’s hand was a lead pipe; in Rowena’s a baseball bat wrapped in barb-wire. On various tables surrounding the ring lay weapons of all types.

Kendo Sticks, light tubes, 2x4’s with thumb tacks glued onto them. Aluminum trash cans with their lids. Folding chairs lay in various spots along the side of the ring.

Both women take off towards each other with their weapons raised high above their heads. Metal clashes against metal as pipe and bat collide as the two women crash into each other. Tanja gets the upper-hand as she spins around and lands a backfist against Rowena’s cheek.

Rowena stumbles back a moment and lifts a hand up to press the back of it against her cheek. Pulling it away, she sees that it’s covered in blood. A dark smile forms on Rowena’s face as she runs towards Tanja and drop-kicks her in the chest.

Tanja stumbles backwards and falls back against the ropes. Rowena stalks towards the other woman and at the last possible moment, she jumps up onto the second rope, spins around and nails Tanja in the temple with her elbow.

It’s easy to tell that Tanja is seeing stars right now as her eyes glaze over and she begins to wobble on her feet. Rowena takes that moment to drop down onto the mat and rolls out of the ring. She heads over to one of the tables and picks up a couple of light tubes. She crawled back up onto the mat, rolled back into the ring once again and straightened up.

Just as she reached her full height, she turned around and came face to face with Tanja and pulled up short. Tanja snatches the light tubes out of her hands, spins her around and smashes the light tubes against Rowena’s back leaving her back sliced up and pieces of glass buried in her flesh.

Rowena let out a yell, spun around and back-handed Tanja, busting her lip wide open. Tanja lifts a hand up to her lip, sees blood on her fingers and returns the yell as well as starting to wail on Rowena.

This causes Rowena to completely lose it and the two women start trading blows.

Blow for blow, the two women land a punch at the same time and both go down. The ref drops to the mat and looks over both women. Standing up, he begins his count.


He pauses for a moment to look over both women. Seeing neither of them moving yet, he continues.


Tanja starts to stir. The ref pauses once again; looks over both women and resumes his count.


Rowena rolls onto her side, uses the ropes to stand at the same time as Tanja.

The ref stops the count and both women drop down out of the ring. One on either side of the ring as they each grab a weapon.

This time, Tanja grabs a Kendo Stick and Rowena grabs a chair. Tanja jumps back into the ring as Rowena tosses a couple of chairs in just before she regains entry back into the ring.

Rowena rolls forward, grabs a chair as she moves to stand and smashes Tanja in the thigh with the side of the chair. This sends Tanja crashing to the ground and Rowena goes for the pin!


Rowena grabs the Kendo stick that Tanja had dropped, she then reaches over to roll Tanja onto her stomach and then Rowena forces the Kendo Stick into Tanja’s mouth. Forcing the Kendo Stick against Tanja’s jaw while she leans back using her full weight as leverage.

Not able to take the pain any longer, Tanja begins tapping against Rowena’s arm.


Isabella Salvatore: YOUR WINNER, BY SUBMISSION – ROWENA BYRNE!!!!

Lucas Knox: Well, that was downright horrific, Olivia!

Olivia Mayfaire: That was fucking AWESOME, Lucas!

Lucas Knox: Fitting spectacle for Funeral Derangements this Halloween night, would you say?

Olivia Mayfaire: The Bayou Witch might need a funeral after the face to face she just had with the UltraViolent Demigoddess!

Isabella Salvatore: Ladies and gentlemen, the next match is scheduled for one fall and is for the Zodiac Championship!! Introducing first, weighing in at 117 pounds and hailing from Flint, Michigan…she is the Zodiac Champion…TRIXIE DECKER!!!
Strobe lights begin flickering all around the entrance as the opening chords of "Halloweenie IV: Innards" starts up. Through the flickering lights a petite form appears, bounding down the aisle to the ring. Trixie Decker waves to the fans cheering her and blows kisses to those who boo her. She pulls herself up onto the ring's skirt, hopping onto the top rope and facing the fans. She blows one more kiss before flipping backwards and landing on her feet. Giving a final wave to everyone, Trixie takes her place in her corner.

Isabella Salvatore: And introducing her challenger, weighing in at 110 pounds and hailing from London, England…DIAMOND STEELE!!!
Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond finally makes it to the ring, and she quickly runs up the ring steps and grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leapfrogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.

Before the match could start, the referee checked the women over, making sure neither had anything that they shouldn’t for the match. Taking the Zodiac Championship from Trixie, the referee showed it to both women before holding it up then ultimately passing it out of the ring, signaling for the bell to start.


Trixie and Diamond circled each other for a moment, sizing the other up before locking in a battle for early control. Decker was able to catch Steele with a swift headbutt, hitting her challenger hard. Steele yelped and grabbed her head for a second, leaving Decker with the opening to go for a dropkick. Diamond quickly sidestepped causing the champion to hit the mat rather than her. As Decker got back to her feet, Steele positioned herself behind the champion with a grin on her face as she moved in for a tiger suplex, slamming Trixie back viciously. The challenger moved fast to get back to her feet, but the champion wasn’t far behind her, a small nod in Diamond’s direction from Trixie as she looked at the woman. Not wanting to give Trixie too much time to recover any, Diamond went for a quick German suplex, but Decker countered with a hard suplex of her own!

Crowd: Let’s go, Trixie! Let’s go, Diamond!

There was a grin on Trixie’s face as she jumped back to her feet, hyping the crowd up a little after she did. As she turned back towards Diamond, the champ was met with a spinning heel kick straight to the chest! Having the wind knocked out of her, Decker fell back against ropes, keeping herself from falling to the mat. Steele ran towards the other woman, but Trixie nailed her with a ferocious backhand. Only this time, Diamond was the one sent stumbling away. As space was put between the two women, Steele rubbed her jaw where Decker had backhanded her and glared at the champion. She watched as Trixie pushed herself off of the ropes fully, moving away from them to go after Diamond again. As the champion came bearing down on her, Steele quickly performed a beautiful leg sweep, taking the Trixie off of her feet before she could inflict more damage on Diamond.

Crowd: Kick her ass! Kick her ass!

Who the crowd was cheering for, it was hard to tell as the two women had put on a Hell of a match already! There had been a lot of back and forth, and it could be seen that the pair were trying to figure out what they needed to pull out to finally dispatch the other. Finally, the two just began exchanging lefts and rights, neither letting up and both determined to wear the other down even more. An eventual missed right from Diamond allowed Trixie to step through and nail the woman with a hard pele kick, making Steele see stars for a minute. But the champion wasn’t done! She got her challenger back to her feet and immediately went for a chaos theory, but Steele ran towards the ropes and grabbed them, coming to a sudden stop, ultimately causing Decker to smack into her back and release her. Diamond wasted no time in hurrying towards Trixie, hitting her with a hard Diamond Cutter and going for a pin attempt.


No! Trixie managed to get her shoulder up just before the referee hit the mat for the third time! Diamond hit the mat beside the champion, clearly frustrated that her Diamond Cutter hadn’t put her away. She got back to her feet, pulling the champion up as she did. When they were both on their feet, Diamond whipped Trixie into the closest corner, causing the other woman to hit the turnbuckles roughly with her back. Decker cried out from the impact, a hand immediately going to grip her back. Pausing for the briefest of moments to catch her breath, Steele looked out around the crowd before running toward the champion, attempting a corner Yakuza kick, but Trixie had enough ring awareness to drop down and roll out of the way! This caused Steele to get hung up on the rope, over-exerting her leg and knee! Trixie used the situation to her advantage and hit a beautiful standing dropkick right into the other woman’s back, just as Diamond was able to get her leg off of the top rope! Steele went chest first into the turnbuckles, the wind being knocked out of her this time! Much like her opponent had briefly done, Decker took a second to try and catch her breath though she kept an eye on the woman in the corner. When she saw Diamond running towards her, Trixie charged as well, and the pair met each other with the same thought in their minds! They clotheslined one another roughly, and both women fell to the mat, their chests heaving slightly.

Crowd: This is awesome! This is awesome!

As both women slowly got to their feet, they were breathing heavily, the toll of the match wearing on them both. It was clear that both women were thinking of one thing and one thing only…how to put the other away and end the match. The two circle each other much like they did at the beginning of the match before Diamond ultimately charges the champion, hoping to hit another Diamond Cutter to put Trixie away. Decker thought fast and launched herself off of the ropes, executing the start of a hurricanrana but quickly turned it into a beautiful black widow submission! Get Jinxed was locked in, and Trixie wasn’t letting up on the powerful submission at all! Unable to get out of the move despite fighting like Hell to do so, Diamond had no choice but to ultimately tap out.


Isabella Salvatore: Here is your winner by submission, and STILL the Zodiac Champion…TRIXIE DECKER!!!

Lucas Knox: Little Miss Jinx does it, Olivia!!

Olivia Mayfaire: Diamonds don’t snap, but they do tap!

Lucas Knox: Let’s hear it for the Zodiac champ!
